Abstract

The present work describes isothermal (25°C) gelation measurements for gelatin gels over a range of concentrations. Methods for the estimation of the gel time are discussed, and data compared with two recent models. The isothermal time growth of modulus is also investigated, and the superposition of such data discussed. For concentrations close to the critical gel concentration C 0 there are significant deviations in the latter case. These may be related to the approach to the biphasic region of the phase diagram suggested by other workers.
